One of the most elegant dining experiences in Aspen is found at Renaissance. It's about the only place where you feel like maybe you should dress up a little, even though you're in a casual mountain community. The cool celadon walls and starched white tablecloths create a calm but inviting atmosphere, and the refined though friendly service enhances that feeling. Just upstairs from Renaissance is the R Bistro, a casual alternative to the dining below. Also owned by chef Charles Dale, the kitchen at the R Bistro serves up decent, though less fancy, fare. A quesadilla filled with lamb, black beans, and fontina cheese might begin the meal, and it may be followed by a salmon burger on a brioche bun with tarragon tartar sauce or the grilled double thick pork chop with spinach and onions. A set menu is also offered here and includes a soup or salad, an entree, and a dessert.
